Over-Exertion is the #1 Cause of Poor Performance, Poor Health and Disease

2/23/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer, Performance Lifestyle® Coach JAM
FOR ME, overexertion STARTED EARLY  I began working as an entrepreneur at the age of 9. I grew up in a modest, middle-income family, and my parents were pretty frugal. So, I enjoyed the freedom of having my own money. I never thought I would be anything but an entrepreneur and a business owner.  By age 19, while going to college, I had not only been running a small business for a decade while going to school, playing three sports, and “growing up,” I had already bought my first gym (open 19 hours per day) and then, by 21, co-founded what would become a chain of gyms. I was a driven achiever, applauded and rewarded for it, but while my friends were just getting started after college, I was facing what felt like a midlife crisis— tiredness, and fatigue.

Energized All Day, But Your Body Battery Is Burning Out

9/22/2022

 
Picture
by John Allen Mollenhauer, Lifestyle Coach JAM
It’s Back to School, Post Vacation Work Schedule, and the Daily To-Do List Has Grown Exponentially.  It’s Begun Wearing You Down.  What Do You Do to Recharge and Restore Your Body Battery? 
  • Press on and on, drink endless amounts of coffee, engage in extreme work ethic, cope at the end of the day with late-night eating, Netflix, 10mg of melatonin… and just grind it out?   
  •  Or 
  • Get regular and systematic about recovery so that you can stay strong throughout the balance of the year, coping in ways that create more energy, better health, and higher performance.  
Of course, the second option is the answer, but unfortunately, most will choose the first, and it stems from a story or “belief” that many people live by just that’s not true.

The Healthy High Achiever and the HPL: The New Acronym for Excellence

8/18/2022

 
Picture
by John Allen Mollenhauer, Lifestyle Coach JAM
Excellence originates from having energy, health, and the capacity to perform well without having to burn out or trade one's health for success, which compromises one's ability to live with Excellence.  It is sustained when you have developed a high-performance lifestyle or 'HPL.' Not everybody will live a high-performance lifestyle, but anybody can take an HPL from theory to practice to mastery in their own life.
​
If you asked 100 people if they would like to live a life of higher personal or professional achievement, 90+% would likely say YES. Whether they do comes down to how they get there.  Do you have a results-only mindset or a mindset focused on a high-performance lifestyle plus the goal-specific actions that result in what you want to achieve?  The difference could not be more profound.

The Healthy, High-Achiever℠

7/21/2022

 
Picture
by John Allen Mollenhauer, Lifestyle Coach JAM
Performance Lifestyles So You and Your Team Can Achieve Ambitious Goals, Full Out, Without Burning 🔥 Out or Trading Your Health and Well Being For Success.​
I want to introduce you to an approach to goal achievement and an ever-better quality of life, even as you age. I’m borrowing a page from the world of athletics, but for his article, understand that the term “athlete,” which goes back to Bible (2 Timothy2:5 and Psalms19:5) and beyond, does not need to evoke visions of grueling preparation for a sporting event.  Bill Bowerman of Nike said, “if you have a body, you are an athlete.”  So how I would like you to interpret my use of the term “athlete” is as someone who has a lifestyle that enables them to manage their energy, stay healthy and both function and perform at higher levels in life—family, career/business, art, sport, ministry etc. 
Ok, let’s get into it.

If You Want to Keep Employees, Try This Performance and Productivity Tool

Possibly the #1 Way to Attract and Retain Top Talent for Your Company Amid the Great Resignation [Besides a Strong Financial Package, Incentives, and a Healthy Environment]!  About one year ago, I penned an article-Now Hiring? 3 Ways to Attract and Maintain High-Performance Employees!  I want to highlight one aspect of that article: having a proactive strategy to help employees avoid burning out and improving the quality of their work life. Put simply, tiring out and ultimately burning out is arguably the number one reason employees leave an organization.

Get Free of the SAD - Standard American Dream - Driven Lifestyle and Get Into a Healthy, High-Performance Lifestyle.

5/19/2022

 
Picture
by John Allen Mollenhauer, Lifestyle Coach JAM
Not many of us native-born Americans (those of us who are not immigrants) consciously think about the "American Dream" since we were born into a country where creating a version of success that is ours is possible. In many other places in the world, it's not. 
​
Whether we think about it or not, the whole idea is firmly embedded in our DNA, and most of us will do whatever it takes to achieve it and maintain it.

We don't avoid stop signs; then why do we avoid signs of fatigue?

4/25/2022

 
Picture
by John Allen Mollenhauer, Lifestyle Coach JAM
Let's face it, the pace of life and the amount of responsiveness that is required of us in this tech-driven information age is enormous and wearing people down. And the traditional health and wellness approach barely acknowledges this, even though health professionals have also been subjected to it themselves.  People who are not immersed in health are often cynical about Self, Body, and Lifestyle change or improvement because they are worn down; they don't have the energy to invest over and beyond their work and the basic routine of their life.  They know that there is a big gap between how they could or should ideally be living and how they can and are living for one reason or another. For many, the gap seems too wide to bridge. So, they don’t and just keep on in the way they usually do despite signs of fatigue.

Life Force—The Ultimate "KEY" to Health and a Higher Level of Performance—and Why You Need to Get a Handle on It!

3/17/2022

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer "Lifestyle Coach JAM" with Inserts by Tony Robbins. 
There is a revolution going on; most aware of it call it the Life Force Revolution, and it's all about energy; how to source more, produce more, and harness it intelligently for better results in your life, career, or business. As an entrepreneur and performance lifestyle coach, I realized early on that energy is the crux of all human performance, and performance is ultimately a lifestyle. So, if you want to perform at a higher level, you need a balanced and healthy, high-performance lifestyle, which requires you to manage your energy (life force) like a pro, especially in the fast-paced, constantly changing times we live.  
​

Tony Robbins is a well-known person intimately aware of this revolution. Author of "Money— Master the Game" and now a new book, "Life Force— How New Breakthroughs in Precision Medicine Can Transform the Quality of Your Life & Those You Love; Tony Robbins has been talking about "unlimited power" and "how to unleash the power within" for decades. Now it's time to understand what that power is!

Ambitious Goals and Extreme Circumstances: The Difference and How to Navigate

2/18/2022

 
Picture
by John Allen Mollenhauer, Lifestyle Coach JAM
I am a lifestyle entrepreneur and periodically straddle between ambitious goals and extreme circumstances. There is a difference, and it's big. 

Being ambitious is about having a strong desire for success or achievement. It necessitates extraordinary effort, capacity, ability, exceptional levels of authenticity, and naturally occurring energy, as well as a level of health you can depend on. All of which rely on foundational lifestyle skills underlying your personal and professional development to function and perform well. 
​

Extreme circumstances are when you are in a situation where you need to perform well, only, without the time and space, energy, and or resources from money to personnel to accomplish the tasks at hand or achieve those ambitious goals without taking a severe toll on you.

My company went live with our new Lifestyle Coach website this week. It's been 20 years in the making.  “Twenty years to launch a website?” you might ask. No, a few months to launch the website, twenty years to have a level of mastery in what's being taught at LifestyleCoach.com, so we can save you up to 20 years or more.  

As the founder and head coach, I am launching Lifestyle Coach—Live a Better Life! —ahead of 2022 because there is a big trend. People are upgrading their lifestyles to perform better, achieve their ambitious life career, business, and creative goals, and have a better quality of life, especially after a ridiculously challenging two years.

Your Drive for Success May Be Destroying Your Health

​

Why Traditional Healthy Living Will NOT Help You Reach Your Goals, Especially In The Second Half of Life—and WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.  ​As a parent raising kids, a career person simply working their job well (let alone climbing the ladder of promotion), or as an entrepreneur starting and running a business (all ambitious goals), your lifestyle supports you AND what you are up to in the world. And it needs to if you want to achieve your goals and with your health and wellbeing intact.

Your Lifestyle is About How You Achieve Your Goals

By John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM", Performance Lifestyle Coach
Here at Lifestyle Coach—Live a Better Life—we have a simple insight that guides everything we do: Your Lifestyle is primarily about How You Achieve Your Goals. Nobody wakes up to be balanced and healthy; they wake up to succeed in their life—family, career, business, maybe an added sport, or creative pursuit. But most people know, especially those who have burned out at least once and traded their health and wellbeing for success, that how you achieve your goals is everything if you want to sustain your success and arguably, be genuinely successful. ​​

​Are you currently spending (potentially wasting) time, energy, and money, on endless personal development books that you can barely get through?
 
Are you going from one program to the next (diet, exercise, etc.) that you start but don't follow?
 
Are you wondering what in the heck will work, long term or at all, to help you look, feel, and perform better? 
 
I can completely relate to those questions; I used to ask them all the time.

MINI-GUIDE. Whether you are a business owner, executive/human resources professional, or other, give yourself 10 minutes to sit back and read this. It will make your company a magnet for employees, including you, who want to thrive. Then act on it. 

by John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”, Performance Lifestyle Coach
The employees coming back to the worksite post-Pandemic are not the same ones who left in March of 2020. Like most of us, our priorities changed because of the Pandemic. Before the Pandemic, most of us we worked from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, daily, with travel added on to and from location-based businesses. This left us with little time for self-care, our families, and other life interests, at least during the work week. During the Pandemic, while working from home, and not having to travel to work, we began to have time for such “luxuries,” which are downright essential to wellbeing. We realized that we could have it all so to speak -- get our work done and see our families!

How You Can Live a Balanced High Performance Lifestyle

An article by Axios, a publishing company that helps you get smarter, faster on what matters, talks about How data and the pandemic have democratized the "high-performance lifestyle."

They say, "A New Fitness and Wellness Vertical Has Emerged Amid the Pandemic." Dubbed the "high-performance lifestyle" (HPL), it combines physical health, mental health, and technology.
​
Why it matters: HPL aims to track and optimize human performance. Athletes have been doing this for decades; now, thanks to data democratization, anyone can.

What Does it Mean to Set Yourself Up for Success?

​Note: This is more than an article. It's a mini-guide, and it can change the course of your year and life for the better forever if you go through it and its links.  

What Does it Mean to Set Yourself Up for Success? 
It was a great honor to be a recipient of the chambers' Leader in Business Award at the Annual Luncheon for 2020, along with three leading pros. Thank you to all who were involved in that decision.  I humbly bring that up for one reason, and that is, I had decided that this was going to be a breakthrough year, well in advance. The power of choosing to set yourself up for success, for what's next, new, or desired, is nothing short of remarkable. It's simple when you decide what you are all-in on, you act accordingly, and beautiful things can happen.

Maybe it's a new diet or workout program? A little more sleep? All good, but you've tried that now for how long?  Maybe it's time for a new approach.  Before I share what that "approach" is rooted in, know this; it's not one thing. It's an idea comprised of a series of insights that translate into a series of principles, practices, and a strategy that, when strung together, becomes an approach you can call your own; a method that will create a breakthrough year and a better life, forever.

The Key to Being an Energetic, Healthy and Unstoppable Leader in 2021 and Beyond

By Lifestyle Coach, John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM". Creator of the Performance Lifestyle®  
I am a lifestyle entrepreneur and performance coach; you can find my articles in Around the Chamber.  Upon talking with me, you might expect me to talk about eating and exercise, probably sleep, how you’re thinking, and more among several other aspects of your lifestyle. And if so, you would be, in part, correct. But that level of granularity is not where the conversation starts.  It starts with a conversation about achieving your goals, not necessarily "how-to," but rather, "how-you," get into the things and follow through on what you want to accomplish, complete, and realize in your life.

Medicare coverage is complicated and, as we saw in my blog post Medicare 101: What Medicare is and Who is Eligible, it is composed of several parts. As you consider what parts of Medicare to enroll in, you should be aware of what Medicare covers and what it doesn’t cover. That way, you can plan carefully and be sure you are getting the health insurance and services that you need.

The health of your mouth and body are intertwined and can impact each other more than many people realize. That's not to say that a small oral health problem that you get treated can manifest illness in another part of your body. When left untreated it can impact our body's ability to fight off illness.  Not only can routine preventative care keep you from needing invasive dental treatment but it can also preserve your oral health, in turn, your physical well-being. ​
